Subject: Wonderful Sounds

This show is incredible. The scarlet begonias is one of the best that I have ever heard from PAF. This download reminded me that I got to get out and see these guys soon. Especialy sincd their with Trey & Mike with the duo. Anyways great show with great sound quality. Get this one for sure. Thanks Archive.

Great show, great venue, even better sound. This one was alot of fun. There really isn't a bad seat in the Beacon. Everyone was visible & the place ROCKED! Barraco's voice is growing on me, & Warren & Larry played very well together. Would have loved to see Trey & Phil, but this show is no slouch. SMOKIN' second set. Phil has a lot of gas left in the tank, seeing him grit his teeth during "Feedback" was cool while Joan desperately tried to cover her ears HAH! Download this one, it'll make you smile.

Subject: Very good show, hopeful lineup

In lieu of Phil's recent lineups which included vocalists whom I detest, I have not seen Phil since 2003. But I have dowloaded some shows with the Black Crowes guy and/or Ryan Adams. Musically, it was great; but the vocals . . . Phil sounds better than those guys!
This show has a mellow feel in the first set, with good vocals from Barracco and Joan and Phil. And the second set is phenomenal--extremely hot versions of Viola Lee and Hard to Handle, etc. Wow! Anyway, this lineup is hopefully what we might see in the late spring or summer. I hate to pick on certain "singers," but you have to have a folksy/soulful style for Dead tunes.

i was at this show, it was absolutely amazing

Reviewer: PennsylvaniaPete - - February 26, 2006
Subject: Good show

Not the best show of the tour (Saturday Tower was in my opinion) but still a memerable evening with the big storm moving in.

Reviewer: Grateful Ed - - February 23, 2006
Subject: Awesome

Great show! Good recording...I wish I could have been there. I can feel the energy :)

Reviewer: Bzl - - February 22, 2006
Subject: incredible second set!!

This second set was perhaps the biggest music highlight of my post-GD Phil experience. The rush of hearing Warren scream out "you tell me this town ain't got no heart!!" right on through the "third set" encore... I'll never forget it. First set was good, but didn't compare with flawless, intensity of the shellacking we got after that. Blew away the next night, imo (not to bash Sunday... it's just that this *was* The Sh*t). Great post-show blizzard too!
Audio sounds real nice!
Burning tip: You can have Bartering Lines start disc 3 if you just skip "Crowd" track before donor rap... sounds seemless.

Sounds like all of these shows had their own sound and feel. This date is no different, the first set being somewhat mello and then the second set...into the upper strata. Certainly sonds like Phil still loves you New York!!! Nice full sounding audience recording with a nicely varied setlist. Wish I was there, thanks for giving me a chance to catch the show and even some of the vibe...Very nice really!!

Subject: Smokin!

The Blizzard was moving in, and much like the meteor shower for the Stabler in 2001 (Night of 1000 Stars) both the band and the crowd were riding the energy. Highlights include Barry's sweet pedal steel on Cumberland Blues and Joan's steamy rap & vocals on Hard to Handle. Warren ripped throughout, and did Jerry proud on Comes A Time. As for Phil, what can I say... He IS the Bomb!

Recording has an excellent dynamic range, and the good Dr. FOB is to be commended for the late nights' work getting this ready for the 'Zoners. Thanks doc!

Subject: Best night of the run?

It's hard to say which one is but this set II especially the Viola Lee Blues and Caution are insane - These go on forever.

Reviewer: CapTrips - - February 21, 2006
Subject: Awesome show.....

So far as i listen to this recording it seems nice and clean- and brings me back memories from a week or so ago- this was a STELLAR show to me. Thunderous sound in the small Beacon venue- THANK GOD Phil still gets it. He seems to be the only one who wants to give us "heads" the old show experience. Second set absolutely KILLED- Warren Haynes was fantastic and gave me chills on the Jerry tunes he sung. All in all a fanstastic show that i will always remember.
Im giving it 5 stars for th quality + the recording seems nice and detailed and clean so far.
